Other Comments:
The article by Dr. Shah is a valid case report, which might be useful to the medical community in the future. However, in my opinion both the scope and impact of the article are low, justifying my low score (4) for the article.

Minor Comments 1.'S typhi' Should be 'Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi'
2. What were the antibiotics given in the initial therapy for which there was no response ?
3. It would have been better to expand the Abrev TLC,DLC etc.
